About Bennu

Discovered in 1999 by LINEAR. IAU designation: 101955 Bennu. Estimated diameter: 0.49 km. Absolute magnitude H: 20.21.

NEA tipo B. OSIRIS-REx (NASA) coletou amostras em 2020 e retornou em 2023.

Limitation

Osculating elements are from epoch 2455562.5 JD. Keplerian propagation ignores perturbations (especially Jupiter for belt asteroids). For precision beyond months, consult JPL Horizons.
